Wallace 'Liberals’ Can Learn
Big Lesson From Miss Bentley
BY PETER EDSON $
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON-—The misguided followers of
Henry Wallace have an important lesson to learn
from Miss Elizabeth Bentley, the spy heroine of the
House Un-American Activities Committee.
When Miss Bentley was asked why she became
a courier for the Communists, she had no trouble in
answering. She had looked on communism as a
world movement, she answered, something idealistic.
To plenty of American citizens both before and
during the war, communism was looked on as a
kind of religion whose purpose was to raise the
standard of living for the lower levels of society
and to bring on Utopia, quick. Miss Bentley fell
for this line.
- So she worked without pay, for the good. of the
cause. They told her she was particularly fitted to
be a courier. Being what she thought was a “good”
Communist, she did what she was told. i
Jit was only when the Russian government began
t{o offer her money that Miss B. got suspicious. It
was when they offered her a Red Star medal right
from Stalin that she really got wise. She realized
then.that she.wasn’t-working for any-great idealistic
movement, but for the Russian government. That
was when she looked up the FBI and told her
story, .. :
WALLACE FANS SHOW SAME DREAMY
IDEALISM
Moastof the fan mail coming to this department
afterseveral recent pieces on the Wallace movement
has shown the same dreamy idealism that must
have first lured Miss Bentley. A number of well
meaning and sincere people are apparently follo“;g_
ing the Wallace star because they believe that he is
the enly one who really believes in peace, the only
ene wl;o will do anything to help Palestine, settle
the Berlin crisis, stave off the threat bf an atomic
WhHF T
They ‘also believe Wallace is the only one who
will “do” anything to aid minority races, increase
waggg‘n-pring down prices, provide housing, end the
draft, . .
For whatever belief there may be that Wallace
is thesonly one who will do anything about this
lattes; domestic half of the program, the two older
parti@s ‘may have only themselves to blame. They
haveil't done much about these things, except
argue. So it is only natural that some family about
to Be evicted from a house or have the rent raised
wuufi- start looking around for new leaders.
“The, trouble is, most such people look too far,
They -don't look right in their own congressicnal
distriets, to see if their local representative to Wash
ington has voted right on these domestic issues.
Looking wver the head of their own congressman,
oftefl lot bothering to vote for or against him, the
bewildered idealist listens to the siren song of the
thinf_j‘p‘afly which has never delivered anything
but promises, and promises everything because it
new=has no responsibility.
" 'The fact is that all these promises on domestic
issues..are merely the sugar coating to make the
third“party pill palatable. This is the idealism that
has #ured many liberals to take up cgmmunism and
the third-party movement.
“LIBERALS?’ HAVE TO LEARN THE HARD WAY
" Every liberal has to learn the difference between
idealism and communism the hard way. This is by
personal experience, just as Miss Bentley learned
i
" Henry Wallace can disavow his Communist fol
lowing till he is blue in the face, expounding all the
‘while his theories on progressive capitalism. It will
“do’ him no good. The Communists endorse him,
“whefher he endorses them or not.
"' THe entire “Peace” section of the third-party
platform is nothing more than an exposition of the
Communist Party foreign policy. This has been
pointed out here and elsewhere before. But it needs
eémphasis constantly, until elertion day, so that
nobody misses it. f
The Communist foreign policy line is not the line
of world idealism and the prowiotion of the brother
‘hood of man. It is nothing raore nor less than the
Russian foreign policy line. ‘lt is grasping, selfish,
nationalistic and imperialistic.
The Russian government is not a creation of Com
munist idealism, as the party members would have
you believe. Instead, world communism is merely
the captive creature of the Russian government.
This is the lesson Miss Bentley had to learn the
hard ‘Way. If a lot of the blind followers of the
ihird-paily movement would learn this lesson,
thexyg would be a lot less support for the Communist
ame
- Thildes s caused by the sudden expanision of

The World Council Of Churches
Alter all the discussion of world prob
lems on a diplomatic level have been
gvaluated and have been found wanting
in bringnig about world peace, the fact
remajns that it is to the Church that the
world must look for the settlement of
vexatious problems.
The Church, and that includes all de
nominations and all religions, has made
some progress, but the results have not
been all that the right-thinking men and
women throughout the world would have
them be.
“In 1941 the World Council of Churches
was organized, but World War II inter
rupted its plans and it is just now taking
up its work in a way that gives promise of
success along many lines of united endea
vor for the betterment of mankind.
The first assembly of the World
Council is now in session in Amsterdam.
Fourteen hundred dlegates are in at
tendance, representing one hundred and
forty-six denominations in forty-six coun
tries. This convention is the largest in the
history of the world and is representative
of more ideas as to religion than any
other asgembly ever held. Among the
delegates are the greatest religious lead
ers in the world and the assembly is seek
ing a common ground on which all relig
ious bodies can stand in the discussion
and the settlement of the problems, on
the solution of which depends in large
measure the future of the human race.
It is well that this erganized assault omn
wrong doing among all the people of the
world is being made. It cannot fail to ac
complish good if all the different relig
ions combine their strength in this strug
gle. Unfortunately the churches have
wasted mueh of their strength in useless
squabbling over theology and non-essen
tial questions. There can be no doubt of
the good results from united efforts suqh
as are being made by the World Cpuncll
of .Churches. To achieve success wal re
quire "perfect unity of action. The thous
ands of churches in all lands must make
their indjvidual contribution to t}us work.
Neither diplomacy or war can bring abqut
enduring peace and prosperity. The vic
tory must be won in the hearts of men
and through the organized efforts of the
churches.
Should Live Within Our Income
Due largely to the high cost of living
and also to the desire to 'maintain the
present scale of living at high levels, the
American people in many instances are
living above their income and using up
their savings. For all who are doing this,
they are going down grade to ultimate
disaster.
These conditions vary with groups to
which they belong. Professional people
within the past year have increased their
savings from a median of $1,300 to one
of $1,350, the managerial and self-em
ployed from $1,250 to $1,400, while cler
ical and sales people have spent their
savings down from S6OO to $500; skilled
and semi-skilled workers from S4OO down
to $250; the unskilled from SSO down to
zero. Thus some of the major groups have
increased their savings while others have
gradually encroached on their savings.
In times like these, with the cost of liv
ing constantly going up, there is little
‘hope of bettering the situation save
through the reduction of the seale of liv
ing. It is hard for an American to reach
the point where he is willing to go eat
less, to wear less, to cut down on amuse
ments and give up the things that are not
absolutely essential to his well-being, but
such is a lesson that must be learned if
disaster is to be averted.
The American people must make up
their minds definitely on ome point. They
must cease spending beyvond their income.
They must resolve to sacrifice and to lay
up something in the way of savings
against the contingency of rainy days and
less prospercus times. They may be mak
ing more money than ever before, but
they are not really prospering if they are
spending beyond their income.
The United States must be prepared to
shoot first in the event of any future war.
Until world peace is a reality we must
avoid the dangerous combination of “hot
heads”-and cold yar.—Lt. Gen, George E.

THE STORY: Miriam’s banker
tells Talent that when she with
drew the SIO,OOO, the bank gave
her new bills of the same serial
number. This was at her request
so the bills could be traced. Mir
iam’s lawyer, T. Bryan Stead
man, tells Talent that Sterling
will inherit Miriam’s personal
property, including the house and
the necklace, which was insured
for SIOO,OOO.
XXVI.
“You might see what you can
pick up from that Miss Wier
haven.” Talent said to Trapgood.
“Take Gus ' Ripley along with
you. And possibly over the week~
end vou can worm yourself into
an invitation to play golf at
Edgecraft.”
Janet Weirhaven was not dis
posed to hysterics. Hence there
were no outbursts when she
learned of Mrs. Sterling’s death.
Studying her closely, not withoutl
sympathetic allowances, Richard
Trapgood read in the stark ex
pression in her eyes the struggle
to accept as truth :omething she
found impossible to believe.
Trapgood explained the circum
stance that accounted for his
noonday visit. With a gesture, he
included Detective Ripley in his
apelogy. .
“Yes I remember now mention-{
ing to Marcus .. . . Mr, Sterling
. . . at Edgecraft last night that
‘Miriam- and I had lunched ¢
}gether,” Janet said. “He was
staying out there overnight, I un
derstood.”
“You knew botk of them well
... Mr. and Mrs, Sterling?”
“Quite well, I think you'd say.
We mei often.”
“Well enough to know ii they
were happily married?”
“T should go so far as to say
that Marcus and Miriam were
’ conventionally stable,” Janet said
after a pause. “But can that have
anything to do with a burglar
breaking into the Sterling home
| and killing Miriam?” _
l “Not directly,” Trapgood has
tened to admit. “The quesition
- Mr. Sterling chose to sleep at a
' club only 20 minutes {rom his
' home, to be on hand for morning
' golf, on a night when no servant
' was in the house . . . when Mrs.
Sterling would be alone.”
Jamet's clesr hazei eyes lighted
] brightly. “Our minds seem to be
« perfectly aituned. Mr. Trapgood.
I hurled that very charge at Mar
cus last night . . . but he had a
r~ndy defense. He said their maid
did’'t get to the house until 8
- on Friday morning, hence either
| he should have had to leave the
house without breakfast or get a
late start. But, seriously, I doubt
that Marcus has ouigrown doing
thoughtless things . . . it probably
didn’t enter his mind that he was
| leaving Miriam aloue.”
Trapgood decid>d he had wan
dered into a blind street. Chrig
Talent's suspicions wouldr’t get
much support from that. As a
witness, he'd prefer to have Janet
Weirhaven on his side of any case.

There was charm in her unaffect
ed frankness. She made a good
impression. She was making a
good impression on him, cuite
beyond anything warranted by
the purpose of his interview.
“Getting back to yesterday's
luncheon, Mrs. Weirhaven,”
Trapgood said, “‘did Mrs. Sterling
mention anything about where
she expected to be during the af
ternoon?” :
“We both had 2.o’clock apvoint
ments with hair-dressers. Not at
the same place. Miriam was gO~
ing to Delti’s, on Madison Av
enue.” :
“You don’t ‘know -where Mrs.
Sterling had been, before you
met her?” ;
Janet decided on her answer to
that with no perceptible delay,
She wouldn’t drag Marcus - Ster
ling’s personal problems . . . that
vague money problem that
seemed so to have upset Miriam
. .. needlessly into a tragedy al
ready devastating for Marcus.
“Qur meeting was entirely caus
ual,” she said. “Just crossed
paths in Fifty-Seventh Street.”
Trapgood got up on that and
Ripley followed his lead. “We're
merely trying to follow Mrs.
Sterling’s program of yesterday,”
Trapgood explained.
Janet walked with them to the
‘door. “On a happier occasion,
T'll offer you a drink,” she said.
“This doesn’t seem just the
time.” She included both men,
but her eyes, frankly wide, lin
gered on Trapgood. He carried
their expression with him as he
led the way along the curving
\ gravel path to the sidewalk.
At the wheel of his car, Trap-

“You're reading my mind. Long
time no eat.”
Trapgood headed the car away
from the direction of the Park
way. For four or five blocks he
drove through quiet curving
roadways past Clifton homes.
Beyond the final fringe of houses
the road swerved sharpely and
there was a sharp descent of two
long blocks past heavily wooded
land.
At the base of the descent, the
road opened into wide, cobblc
